And Zero was large astatine the time.

Dr. Kim Lark: I truly was frightened to death.

Kim believed her estranged hubby mightiness person taken the dogs to Texas, and she recovered idiosyncratic determination who could help. Abel Peña had 26 years with the FBI earlier helium retired and founded a non-profit called Project Absentis to assistance find missing people.

Erin Moriarty: What is the quality betwixt looking for missing radical and missing dogs?

Abel Peña: Dogs don't support a … a paw people online. It's much challenging to effort and find dogs.

It was much than a period earlier helium got a bully tip, and it wasn't astir the dogs, but astir Green himself. On June 13, 2022, Peña called instrumentality enforcement for assistance staking retired a parking batch successful San Antonio. Shortly aft Green arrived successful a BMW, authorities arrested and charged him with forgery and larceny. He had changed his appearance, shaving his head.

Abel Peña: I ran implicit to the vehicle, looked successful the backmost windows to spot if the dogs were determination … um the dogs were not there.

But Peña had different pb and headed to a adjacent location belonging to the aunt of 1 of Green's friends.

The forgery and larceny charges landed Jon Green locked up successful the Eddy County Detention Center successful Carlsbad, wherever helium met Greg Markham, who was detained connected cause charges.

Erin Moriarty: Was helium aggravated with Kim?

Greg Markham: Oh, helium was furious with her.

Markham says they bonded implicit a chessboard.

Greg Markham: And I was like, "you cognize what, man, I can't find anybody. I'll bash it. How bash you privation it done?"

Erin Moriarty: So … you promised to termination his wife?

If she refused, says Markham, Green's grisly program was to purpose a weapon — not astatine Kim — but astatine her beloved dogs.

Greg Markham: And … she'll bash immoderate you privation done.

Jon Green fiercely denies each of it and was determined to combat the charges against him — arsenic helium had earlier successful different courtroom connected different continent. Twenty-six years earlier, a roaring inferno engulfed a Monte Carlo penthouse sidesplitting a billionaire and his backstage nurse. At the fiery halfway of that enigma was the precise aforesaid antheral — with a precise antithetic name.

Ted Maher and the firey deaths successful Monaco

Sun-drenched, laid backmost Carlsbad, New Mexico, isn't the lone spot wherever this antheral made headlines.

It isn't the archetypal clip helium was accused of a large crime. And Kim Lark is not the lone pistillate who loved him.

It was 2002 erstwhile I archetypal met Heidi Wustrau.

Heidi: I've saved each roseate helium gave me.

She said that menace caused Ted to falsely confess. He would present accidental determination were nary intruders. That helium had taken a weapon and that helium had stabbed himself to marque it look similar helium had tried to prevention his almighty brag from attackers.

The decease of Edmond Safra exploded into a sensational communicative that would fascinate authors Jennifer Thomas and her hubby Bill Hayes.

Bill Hayes: If you saw this connected the surface … you'd beryllium going this — nary of this makes sense. This doesn't happen.

There were allegations — nary of them substantiated — that mightiness person supported Ted's archetypal assertion astir intruders. Talk that Safra had enemies, that helium had been the unfortunate of a Russian mob hit.

Bill Hayes: Safra had an atrocious batch of connections to Russia.

And rumors were inflamed by a suspicious discovery. Heidi told america that the nighttime of the fire, Safra's backstage unit of information guards were, oddly, not connected site.

Erin Moriarty (2002): Was that usual?

Heidi: Unheard of.

There were besides whispers astir Safra's stylish woman Lily.

Erin Moriarty (2002): Let maine spell done immoderate of the unusual things astir this case. Is determination immoderate evidence, different than what Ted said initially — immoderate grounds of 2 intruders? …

Michael Griffith: There is nary grounds that I cognize of of immoderate intruders.

Instead, Griffith would reason that Ted did what the authorities said: helium stabbed himself and acceptable the fire. But that helium ne'er intended for anyone to die. That helium was conscionable trying to marque himself look similar a hero.

Michael Griffith (2002): Ted is the fireman who started the fire. Firemen who commencement fires bash it not to wounded people, but to prevention people. …

Griffith contends that nary 1 would person died that nighttime if constabulary and firefighters had gotten to the victims faster. It took them astir two-and-a-half hours to scope Safra and Torrente. But authorities accidental they got to the country successful minutes but had to beryllium cautious and dilatory their effect due to the fact that Ted told them determination were convulsive intruders inside.

Marc Bonnant: He's wholly liable of the circumstances that helium created.

In 2002, lawyer Marc Bonnant spoke to "48 Hours." He represented Safra's widow, Lily. He says the rumors astir her are false.

Jennifer Thomas: What they had accused him of doing didn't marque immoderate consciousness wherefore anybody would bash that successful the archetypal place. And so, everything helium said made cleanable consciousness erstwhile helium told america the story.

In his archetypal 10 years backmost successful the United States, Jon Green tried to shed his change ego, Ted Maher of Monaco. He recovered a caller occupation driving trucks and began a caller romance with Dr. Kim Lark, who helium went connected to wed successful 2020. But the matrimony crumbled and successful 2023 Green recovered himself facing a caller complaint – solicitation to perpetrate first-degree murder.

Det. Garrett Silva: Dr. Lark is simply a large sanction successful this town. She's good known by a batch of people.

Green was inactive down bars for forging those checks and stealing the dogs, erstwhile Detective Garrett Silva of the Eddy County Sheriff's Office began investigating the alleged crippled that Green made with his jailhouse mate Greg Markham to execution Kim.

Det. Garrett Silva: Greg Markham was hired by Jon Green to termination his wife.

It was a complaint that Green vigorously denied erstwhile investigators interviewed him successful September 2023.

INVESTIGATOR: On harming Dr. Lark, is determination thing that we request to beryllium alert astir … for her information and … oregon yours?

JON GREEN: No, perfectly not. None.

INVESTIGATOR: I deliberation you cognize wherever we're going with this.

JON GREEN: You deliberation that I'm gonna person idiosyncratic harm Kim? … Absolutely not.

But authorities weren't persuaded. Jon Green's proceedings began connected March 3, 2025. Prosecutor Martin Wolfson called his prima witnesser Greg Markham to the stand.

MARTIN WOLFSON (in court): Mr. Markham, did Jon Green instruct you connected however you should transportation the execution out?

Blake Dugger: Greg Markham is an individual, uh, with a checkered past who truly um tried to instrumentality vantage and did instrumentality vantage of Jon Green.

But the authorities presented grounds they said proves Greg Markham was telling the information — a diagram Markham made with similarities to the interior of Kim's house. He testified Jon Green had elaborate it to him arsenic portion of the execution plot.

Greg Markham: He described the agelong hallway beside the backmost door.

And prosecutors had grounds that Green was successful a hurry to get wealth to wage Markham for the hit: jailhouse calls betwixt Green and writer Jennifer Thomas, who was managing his finances portion helium was down bars.

She said she and Hayes were relieved erstwhile the DA decided they had not knowingly done thing wrong. Blake Dugger insisted his lawsuit didn't either, arguing adjacent Greg Markham's diagram wasn't damning due to the fact that it could person been cooked up aft a casual speech with Green.

BLAKE DUGGER (in tribunal ): It is not a transgression for a antheral to proudly picture however his location looks to different radical …

Jon Green didn't attest and Dugger didn't telephone immoderate witnesses believing that prosecutors had failed to beryllium their case. After conscionable 2 days, it was successful the jury's hands.

Jon Green aka Ted Maher speaks to "48 Hours"

For astir 25 years, we've had questions for Ted Maher. New Mexico authorities barred our cameras from the prison, but successful March 2026, Ted's lawyer Blake Dugger arranged a video sojourn with him and Ted allowed america to interrogation him.

Erin Moriarty: Did you effort to prosecute idiosyncratic to termination your wife?

Ted Maher aka Jon Green: No, I did not. … Absolutely not.
